Wireless Basics
sure that the Access Points and Adapters are positioned so that the
signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling for better reception.
3. Building Materials make a difference - A solid metal door or aluminum
studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position the DWL-810,
the Access Points, and computers with wireless adapters so that the
signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical
devices or appliances that may generate extreme RF noise.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, the DWL-810 transmits and receives
data over the air, eliminating the need for a wired connection.
4. Getting Started Setup #1: This example illustrates an Ad-Hoc setup. Simply connect the
DWL-810 (refer to the Quick Installation Guide) to your Ethernet-capable
network device (in this case, a gaming console) and you will automatically
connect wirelessly with other gaming consoles that are connected to a
DWL-810. No configuration is needed in this setup!
